In the third T20I of their ongoing series in Harare on Wednesday, India clinched a 23-run victory over Zimbabwe. One of the standout moments of the match was Ravi Bishnoi’s spectacular catch at point, which elicited reactions of both astonishment and admiration from his Indian teammates. During Zimbabwe’s chase, Bishnoi displayed exceptional fielding prowess when he leaped to intercept a fierce cut shot from Brian Bennett off Avesh Khan, preventing what seemed destined to be a boundary. This pivotal moment occurred early in Zimbabwe’s innings, reducing them to 19 for 3, which disrupted their momentum despite Dio Myers’ resilient unbeaten innings of 65 runs from 49 balls. India’s bowling effort was further bolstered by Washington Sundar’s impressive figures of 3 for 15, restricting Zimbabwe to 159 for 6 by the end of their allotted overs.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) subsequently released a video showcasing the Indian team’s enthusiastic response to Bishnoi’s remarkable catch. In the video, Avesh Khan credited Bishnoi’s fielding effort for the crucial breakthrough, emphasizing its impact on the match. Washington Sundar, from his position at mid-on, expressed his enjoyment in witnessing the spectacular catch unfold.
With this victory, India surged ahead to a 2-1 lead in the series, with the fourth T20I scheduled to take place on July 13. After an initial setback in the series opener where Zimbabwe triumphed by 13 runs, the young Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, bounced back strongly in the subsequent match, securing a commanding 100-run victory to level the series before this crucial third encounter.
